Midea joins NVIDIA MGX AI Factory ecosystem with focus on liquid cooling
At the 2026 OCP Global Summit held in San Jose from October 12 to 15, NVIDIA published its NVIDIA MGX AI Factory ecosystem and partner list for the next-generation Vera Rubin platform, and Midea appeared on the thermal-management partner list. Reports citing Sina Tech insiders said Midea's cooperation with NVIDIA centers mainly on liquid cooling, with no disclosed detail on scope or commercial terms. MGX is described as NVIDIA's open hardware foundation spanning Blackwell, Vera Rubin and later AI computing platforms, covering server OEM/ODM, liquid cooling, power, power distribution and data-center infrastructure, with 45°C high-temperature liquid cooling framed as the emerging industry standard as rack power density rises.
Joining the MGX ecosystem gives thermal-management and appliance vendors a chance to help shape next-generation AI data-center cooling specifications early rather than only winning individual project orders.
